Drug-coated balloon for narrowed heart arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a special balloon that releases medication to open narrowed heart arteries and keep them open. It is for people who have had a stent that narrowed again or who have a small new narrowing in their heart arteries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a treatment called a drug-coated balloon (DCB) to open narrowed heart arteries in people with type 2 diabetes. The balloon releases medicine to help keep the artery open, which may improve blood flow to the heart.
This trial is studying how well drug-coated balloons work for people with coronary artery disease. It looks at their use in many different situations, including new blockages, re-narrowed stents, and complex cases. The goal is to see if they are a good option for opening blocked arteries.
This study looks at how well a drug-coated balloon opens blocked heart arteries without leaving a permanent stent. It may help people who had a successful balloon procedure and want to avoid stents.
This trial studies a balloon treatment coated with medicine (to help keep the artery open) for people with coronary artery disease. You may be a candidate if you are planned to receive this type of procedure and do not have certain key safety risks.
This trial tests how the way a drug-coated balloon is used during a heart procedure affects outcomes for people with stable heart disease or unstable angina. It may help doctors find the best technique to keep arteries open.
This study tracks outcomes for people having a heart procedure with a drug-coated balloon, which releases medicine to help keep arteries open. It may help doctors learn if this treatment works well for a wider range of patients.
